What does Haramain Amber Oud Black Edition smell like?

It opens with cardamom and lavender, then gathers amber, leather and tonka bean in the heart. Ambergris, benzoin and vetiver sit underneath. The sweet, spicy side is balanced by woody, resinous and smoky tones, while leathery and animal touches give it a dense, oriental feel.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, so a light hand is enough. It reads as unisex and is rated well for its value. Stéphane Humbert Lucas Ô Hira and Guerlain Ambre Éternel have a close profile.
